We have the pleasure of offering for sale this fantastic Yamaha RD500LC YPVS. Sporting the stunning red, white and black livery this machine is an absolute credit to it's previous owners and without doubt one of the best we have seen.
This low mileage 1987 example originated in Germany before being brought to the UK in 2016 and registered with an age related plate. It had covered just 1,729 kms upon arrival into the UK and the speedo was replaced at 4,294 kms (2,668 miles) with a mph speedo which now reads 926 miles. Due to the fact that the bike had been rarely ridden throughout its life it was sent to Stokeysrd Motorcycles Restoration Specialists in 2017 and underwent a full mechanical strip and rebuild. Included in the package is the original speedo, handbook and a host of paperwork which includes numerous receipts, old MOT's and a DVD with pictorial evidence of the work carried out with before, during and after photos.
This offers an extremely rare opportunity to own an original, true full powered version (79bhp with Dyno evidence) of this legendary 2 stroke iconic Yamaha. This iconic 2-stroke, was at the forefront in the 1980's as one of the must have GP replica bikes. Yamaha looked at the success of the YZR500 and realised that a road-going version of this would sell well. The RD500LC YPVS was bred from the ground-up to be a race replica, and it was absolutely focused in its mission. Everything was lightened and stripped down for performance. People were in love with the 2 stroke V4 and Yamaha really hit the nail on the head with this motorcycle. 2 strokes don't get much better than this, and our example offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to own what must be, in our opinion, the best example of this 80's dream bike for sale in the world.
